00:00This was a mistake!
00:04Shut up!
00:05Button?
00:14You're mad.
00:16Wow.
00:30APPLAUSE
00:36Hello!
00:37Welcome to the Taskmaster Grand Final!
00:46Ten weeks of literal blood, sweat and tears,
00:49and we are a short hour away from crowning not just any clown,
00:53the King of the Clowns!
00:55What makes a champion, ladies and gentlemen?
00:57Blood, we've seen it.
00:58Sweat, all five of our contestants stink of it.
01:01Tears, every night when he wets the bed.
01:03Sorry!
01:04We all have the ingredients for one final pie,
01:08the glory pie.
01:11Please...
01:13Meet the meat that hopes to end up being its filling.
01:23They are...

01:40And next to me, a man who tells me
01:42the secret to a happy marriage is simple.
01:45Respect.
01:46Making time for your personal space
01:49and never telling your wife, Rachel,
01:51how boring all her stories are.
01:54LAUGHTER
01:55Ooh!
01:56Ooh!
01:57Ooh!
01:58Ooh!
01:59Ooh!
02:00Ooh!
02:01Ooh!
02:02Ooh!
02:03Ooh!
02:04Ooh!
02:05Ooh!
02:07Greg, it's the last episode, so I thought,
02:09it's about time we renew our vows.
02:11Don't you think?
02:13Yeah.
02:14I've written mine.
02:15I, Alex Horne, solemnly swear to protect you
02:18till the day one of us is dead.
02:21He's yours.
02:24I, Greg Davies, solemnly swear to express my respect and admiration for you
02:28as often as I breathe each breath.
02:30Part two.
02:32LAUGHTER
02:33From today onward, you and I will be one in heart, body and mind.
02:38Need so much for me, part three.
02:39Yeah.
02:41And the general rule of thumb with comedy is there's only three parts.
02:45LAUGHTER
02:47You are my sunrise and sunset.
02:50My day starts and ends with you.
02:51I'm the luckiest person alive to be standing with you today
02:54and to be facing life with you every day.
02:56That's what I feel as well.
02:57Last one.
02:59Four.
03:00The rule of four.
03:01Let us build a home.
03:03Yes.
03:04A life and a family from these bonds
03:07and promise to stick together through all life's challenges.
03:09You are my fire, my one desire.
03:11There's definitely another one.
03:13That is it.
03:14I put dot, dot, dot because that's the bit I really meant.
03:16OK.
03:17A paid employee will have printed all those out.
03:19Work experience.
03:20Yep.
03:22Time for the final prize test category of the series.
03:25What is it?
03:26Yes, Greg, it's an important one and that's why the category is
03:28the thing most likely to make you do a double take.
03:34Good old Greg will give five points to the thing
03:36that prompts the biggest delayed surprised reaction.
03:39At the end of the episode,
03:40the winner will double take all five things home with them.
03:43All right, then.
03:44Matthew, what have you brought in that'll make me double take?
03:46It is boots in a bin.
03:53Boots in a bin.
03:54Thank you, sir.
03:55Great.
03:56And it really does look like there's a body in there.
03:59Yeah.
04:00It's a strong start.
04:01Thank you. Simple.
04:02Clean.
04:03Fatia. Yeah.
04:04You've made me double take all series.
04:06My thing is geezers with beards.
04:09Oh.
04:10Have you...
04:12This is crazy.
04:13Have you ever farted in front of a cat?
04:15It was only a matter of time until someone asked.
04:25So, yeah, you know, like, if you fart in front of a cat, yeah,
04:30it goes like this.
04:31And that's what happens when I see a geezer with a beard, right?
04:34Because a lot of Muslim men grow beards.
04:36And so, is this beard for somebody that you might find attractive
04:40but who doesn't have a beard so you can just put it right on him?
04:43No, we just couldn't find a guy with a beard that I liked.
04:46Oh.
04:47So I said you...
04:50Excellent.
04:53So, if I've understood you correctly, you've brought a beard in
04:56because you always double take when you see a man with a beard
04:58because you find them attractive but you're hoping that that man
05:00is a Muslim.
05:01Yeah.
05:02What I haven't quite worked out is the whole farting in front of a cat.
05:07Don't worry about that.
05:08Just leave that, yeah?
05:09Yeah, leave that.
05:10That's the reaction because that's what I'm like.
05:12Backstage you said this was your best one.
05:17It is.
05:18It is my best one.
05:20OK.
05:21Jason.
05:22I bought this at a yard sale maybe 30 years ago.
05:25It has lived in the kitchen of every house or apartment that I've
05:28ever lived in and it never fails to get a double take from people
05:31when I show it to them.
05:39You look back again.
05:41I looked again so I could read most meals with dad.
05:44Yes.
05:45That's what got me.
05:46That's the double take.
05:47I'd like to think maybe someday, it's not just that I own it,
05:50but someday I'll earn it.
05:55Even if you'll eat with your father more often.
05:57Wouldn't that be great?
05:58OK.
05:59It's absolutely weird.
06:01Stevie.
06:02Oh, I forgot mine.
06:04I forgot mine.
06:05Oh!
06:06Oh!
06:15I was going silent that whole time because I didn't want you to
06:17look at my stupid shoulder.
06:21That is strong.
06:24Genuinely wasn't expecting it.
06:25Do a genuine double take.
06:26Great.
06:27Rosie.
06:28I have brought a life-size interpretation of my monthly period.
06:36Here she is.
06:37Here she is.
06:41Look at it again, Greg.
06:42Look at it again.
06:45What's your problem?
06:46Why do you hate Wendy?
06:47Can it be a double take if you never look at a thing more than once?
06:50Take it all in.
06:51It's just nature.
06:52Yeah.
06:53And it's absolutely empowering.
06:57Yes.
06:58Very good.
06:59Very good.
07:00Very good.
07:01The thing most likely to make you do a double take, Greg.
07:03What's the thing most likely...?
07:04OK, well, if I...
07:05This is going to ruin my potential marriage to Fatia, I think.
07:07Oh, no.
07:08Because I don't double take up men with beards.
07:10So it's one to Fatia.
07:11Again.
07:14Two points to Matthew.
07:16I've seen well he's in the bim.
07:18Sorry.
07:19No, I don't have.
07:20Excuse me.
07:23As much as I love meals with Dad, I'm going to give it three points.
07:26If I saw that blob thing walk past me, I would mega take...
07:32..and be disturbed by it.
07:34But it's her finest work.
07:35She fooled us all.
07:36I did a genuine double take.
07:38Stevie takes five points.
07:39Well done, Stephen Martin.
07:43Right, let's get this party started.
07:45Give me a task proper.
07:46Yes, and what could be more apt than an emotive task
07:49involving the sands of time?
07:51And some brightly coloured boxes.
07:53Hello.
07:54It's nice in there, isn't it?
07:55I feel like I'm in a microwave.
07:56Thanks.
07:57Cool.
07:58I'm not going to be too fast now.
07:59You're not going to be too fast?
08:00I'm going to take my time.
08:01Okay.
08:02And be very deliberate in my thoughts and emotions.
08:03Completely fill the yellow box with sand.
08:04I'm not going to be too fast now.
08:06You're not going to be too fast?
08:07I'm going to take my time.
08:08Okay.
08:09And be very deliberate in my thoughts and emotions.
08:10Completely fill the yellow box with sand.
08:33The yellow box with sand.
08:37Once you have touched a box, you must hold that box for the rest of the task.
08:42Once...
08:43Once you have touched a box, you must hold that box for the rest of the task.
08:50Right, well, I haven't touched any from saying that.
08:56Fastest wins.
08:58OK, so this seems to be a situation under here.
09:01I'd love you to read the last line.
09:03I would love to, but I just want to figure out how this thing works.
09:06Have you started the clock?
09:07No. Great.
09:09I'm tempted to.
09:12Your time starts now.
09:19Stevie, what are you going to be...
09:22I think it might be a catchphrase that people could use for you going forward,
09:25so I just want to shine a light on it.
09:27You said, OK, I'm going to be very deliberate in my thoughts and emotions.
09:33And then he went, ha, ha, ha, on the box.
09:35Right, do you want to go through some rules?
09:39Yeah, well, you didn't need to worry about the touching until after you said your time starts now.
09:42Don't worry about that.
09:42Fill the yellow box up with sand.
09:44If you touch a box, you've got to hold the box.
09:45First up, we're going to see fattier, rosy and sandy.
09:50Sand.
09:51We're going to see sand.
09:57So how are you going to do this?
09:59Because they don't want to touch anything.
10:03Oh, bollocks!
10:04You've just touched the orange ones, like that.
10:08Why are you stating the obvious?
10:11Oh, shit.
10:12There's another box in here.
10:14I can just grab the sand, can't I?
10:16I'm not touching the box.
10:17Just like this.
10:18Just like this.
10:22I think you need to pick up the blue box.
10:25So...
10:26That's a big one.
10:36Oh, you're carrying that one as well, then, now.
10:38Oh, dear.
10:39Right, so you've touched all the boxes now.
10:46It says living room.
10:47Right.
10:48Do I have to go to the living room?
10:50Off we go.
10:51Can I boot the door in?
10:53Yeah.
10:53Oh, that was a bad idea!
10:58The yellow box is upside down, now.
11:00Oh!
11:01Oh, it's more sand.
11:08Oh, you're taking a piss.
11:09You're taking the absolute piss.
11:11Oh, my God!
11:12Okay.
11:13Shed.
11:15Oh, my God.
11:16Oh, my God.
11:17It's going in your head, is it?
11:18Yeah.
11:23Oh.
11:26Oh.
11:27What is this?
11:30Why is there all these boxes?
11:36You're wobbling it in?
11:37Yeah.
11:38Is it working?
11:39Um, no.
11:40No.
11:40Oh, shit, shit, shit, shit!
11:41Is it completely full of sand?
11:53I think so.
11:54There's no more sand anyway.
11:57Would you like me to stop the clock?
11:58Yeah.
11:59It's half empty.
12:00Ah.
12:01This is what we're going to do.
12:02I'm going to put that in here.
12:03Yeah, I think that's a good idea.
12:05Okay.
12:07Ha-ha.
12:08You're a prick.
12:09Is it full?
12:15Yes, it's full, bruv.
12:16I've done the clock.
12:17Congratulations.
12:18That was impressive.
12:23That's why I didn't realise that you were Special Forces track.
12:28The kicking in at the door.
12:30Incredible.
12:31And then I used to keep hold of all the boxes.
12:34I lost my balance.
12:35I've got really bad balance.
12:37Yeah, I saw.
12:38Yes.
12:38I did some great facial expressions during that.
12:42And I was amazed at just how proud you were when you put that orange box on your head.
12:47Yeah, well, I've captured it for posterity.
12:48Here it is.
12:52I suspect neither of them succeeded.
12:55Look, neither of them completely filled it with sand, but they did their best.
12:58And that's all that counts?
13:00Not normally, no.
13:01Who's next?
13:03Next up, it's two men who are prodigious actors.
13:06A skill, of course, that has no use in this task whatsoever.
13:08It's Jason and Matthew.
13:12There's not...
13:13That's not going to all be sand, is it?
13:14There's going to be a trick.
13:15Is there sand anywhere else, Alex?
13:17I don't know.
13:19I don't know.
13:23Ah, I see.
13:25This box has actually quite little sand in it.
13:28I've managed to ascertain that without touching the box yet.
13:31That's, that's a trap.
13:34You've felt so glad.
13:38Okay, we've got some sort of contraption here.
13:43How you doing?
13:45Where else is there sand?
13:48There's only sand in here!
13:55The thorough search has turned up for the sand.
14:01Sand!
14:08Aha!
14:12Stop the clock!
14:13I've stopped the clock.
14:14Woo!
14:16Seems full.
14:17I've stopped the clock.
14:18Great.
14:19Thank you, Alex.
14:20Thank you, Jason.
14:28I mean, lovely.
14:29Very indicative of the two nations
14:31from whence you both came.
14:33Jason has unbelievable self-belief throughout.
14:36He believes everything will go right.
14:38And Matthew presumes, as is correct,
14:40that everything will go wrong.
14:42And he's absolutely amazed when it doesn't.
14:45But pretty sharp.
14:47Yeah.
14:47Jason, 4 minutes 21.
14:49Matt was 1 minutes 25.
14:50Wow.
14:51Oh!
14:52Finally, the argument settled.
14:54We are better.
14:55LAUGHTER
14:56OK, break time.
15:00There are three parts left to go,
15:02so maybe try and pace yourselves with the booze for a change, yeah?
15:05Stay to you.
15:07APPLAUSE
15:07Yes, here we are.
15:20It's the Taskmaster final, and it's the start of part two.
15:23That's right, and I've just had a bowl of muesli.
15:25It's fibre content helps keep my digestive system moving smoothly,
15:28preventing constipation and other digestive problems.
15:30The current task involves trying to completely fill the yellow box with sand.
15:35There's just one person left,
15:36and that person's name is still Stevie Martin.
15:43Right.
15:43Oh, I've made a terrible mistake.
15:45The sand's outside the dome, isn't it?
16:02I've got massive hands.
16:03I forgot.
16:05Ah!
16:08Shit.
16:10Shit.
16:12Oh!
16:13Yeah, it's fine.
16:16That's just so funny.
16:27I can't walk.
16:29There has to be a little bit of this.
16:34Oh!
16:35Why should I move it?
16:36No, that's obviously stupid.
16:43Why would I do...
16:44Oh, what?
16:46Shed.
16:47Whoa.
16:51I've slipped a disc.
16:52I'm sewing.
16:56What have you just seen?
16:57A box that says the word sand on it.
16:59Right.
17:01Are you touching another box?
17:02I'm touching all of the boxes.
17:03Great.
17:04It's got a sheet of sandpaper in it.
17:07Yeah, it says sandpaper on the box.
17:10I...
17:10can't...
17:12deal with that.
17:15Now.
17:17Right.
17:17I actually need to think about where I'm going.
17:23OK.
17:25Yeah, all right.
17:30OK.
17:30OK.
17:32Are you holding the yellow box?
17:33No, but I've got, like, a bit of a body on it.
17:39After the clock.
17:39What did she promise she would be?
17:50Oh, she was so deliberate in her thoughts and her emotions.
17:53Thank God!
17:56But filled her box up, didn't she?
17:58Righter.
17:58It took her nearly 20 minutes, but she did.
18:01You did it in the end.
18:03Incredibly, though, you're not going to come last. Incredible.
18:06Let's get some scores there.
18:08So, first of all, there's no doubt the winner of the task is Mr Matt Bainton.
18:11He gets five points for his one-minute counter.
18:14And the other box fillers, Jason, you get four points in a second
18:19for four minutes, and Stevie, you took 17 and a half minutes,
18:22but you get three points, I presume.
18:24Well, because the box was definitely full of sand, 100%.
18:27But now we're into murky territory with these two, aren't we?
18:29It is such murky territory.
18:30Now, I should technically give you both nothing,
18:32but because this is the final, I'm trying to be generous.
18:34You put that sand pot in... Yeah.
18:36..and that is made of sand.
18:38Yeah, well, I guess it was over the top of the box. Yeah.
18:40I'm tempted to give Fatia two points, and I feel pretty bad for you.
18:44You know, you've made a fool of yourself with that box on your head
18:46if I didn't give you one point.
18:48Well done, Rosie. One to Rosie, two to Fatia, but Matthew Bainton wins the task!
18:51CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
18:54Can you give me the scores, please? Yes.
18:56Well, Fatia and Rosie are still at the bottom,
18:58and we'll top with eight points, it's Stevie Martin!
19:00Ooh! Ooh!
19:01CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
19:06What are we going to do next, Alex Horne?
19:08Freeze!
19:10What's all that nonsense? Are my Bear Grylls making me walk through rocks?
19:22What's going on?
19:24Nice, please. Oh! Yeah, that is nice.
19:26It's gorgeous, isn't it?
19:27It's an inflatable.
19:28It's not.
19:29OK.
19:30Freeze on your spot in the most powerful pose.
19:32SHE LAUGHS
19:33She's a windy one.
19:34SHE LAUGHS
19:35She's a windy one.
19:36APPLAUSE
19:37It doesn't bode well that in any way,
19:39it's a windy one.
19:40SHE LAUGHS
19:41It doesn't bode well that in any way,
19:42she's a windy one.
19:43It's not.
19:44OK.
19:47Freeze on your spot in the most powerful pose.
19:57She's a windy one.
20:05It doesn't bode well that inanimate objects can't freeze on the spot.
20:09Freeze on your spot in the most powerful pose in five minutes from now.
20:16I'm assuming that's my spot.
20:18It is.
20:19You must be touching two of the objects.
20:23Your time started when you acknowledged Alex.
20:26Is that it?
20:28Probably.
20:29Most powerful pose.
20:32This place is quite regal, innit?
20:35So, regal people have dogs all the time.
20:38The power over life and death.
20:40I could kill a dog.
20:44In the 80s, when they used to have these round their necks,
20:47they were quite powerful people.
20:50The most powerful thing in the world is obviously people who...
20:53Sometimes you were made of them.
20:54So, if I told this...
20:56Oh, shit!
20:57I want to stand up on these two things.
21:00Do you now?
21:01This is my dog that I take to the beach.
21:03These are my skates.
21:05So, this is my puppy, Rufus.
21:08Rufus.
21:09He's been hit by a car.
21:11Oh.
21:12But I have the power to end his life.
21:15I'm going to get into a powerful position.
21:19Right?
21:20Mm-hmm.
21:21And then like this.
21:23You're kneeled down here with your head,
21:25right where the hammer would be.
21:27Ten seconds.
21:29Hey, Jason.
21:30Yeah?
21:31I'm just going to read the second part of the task.
21:32Son of a bitch.
21:33It says,
21:34Stay completely still in your powerful pose for the next ten minutes.
21:48Least movement wins.
21:49Your time starts now.
21:50You understand the task?
21:52Uh-huh.
21:53This is a disaster.
21:56APPLAUSE
22:03I expected Jason to show something like a man being executed
22:07as an example of power.
22:09But a puppy, Matthew.
22:11Powerful, isn't it? Powerful to think of.
22:13The murder of a puppy.
22:15Putting Rufus out of his misery was the idea.
22:18It is powerful.
22:20Fatih.
22:21Yeah?
22:22I must have missed the episode of Bear Grylls
22:24when he battled his way across some driveway gravel.
22:31It was like running through the Himalayas, she says.
22:33Listen, that shit was deep.
22:37What do you think people in the 80s...
22:42Powerful people did in the 80s?
22:4480s.
22:45Power.
22:46Cool kids.
22:47Ah, yeah, yeah.
22:48Roller plays.
22:49I remember Ronald Reagan wore some skates around his neck.
22:51LAUGHTER
22:52When the Berlin Wall came down, didn't it?
22:54LAUGHTER
22:55It's not really about the powerful positions.
22:56I know.
22:57It's how still they could be in that position.
22:59You want to see how they got on?
23:00Oh, God, do I?
23:01Sometimes you just can't beat a montage of people
23:03standing about in loads of pain.
23:05Here we go.
23:06LAUGHTER
23:08How often do you want me to tell you the time?
23:11Not too often.
23:12OK.
23:13Any regrets?
23:14Mm-hm.
23:15How long has it been?
23:17It's been 34 seconds.
23:19OK.
23:20How do I not see this coming?
23:22This has got all the hallmarks of there's a second task.
23:25Nine minutes left.
23:26It's the twist in the spine I regret the most at this point.
23:31Oh, the benefit is...
23:33I could really give you a whack right now.
23:35LAUGHTER
23:36How long have I done?
23:37You're almost there, just eight minutes to go.
23:39Oh, shut up!
23:40Happy with your choice?
23:41Mm?
23:42The arm, the arm's a problem, is it?
23:44Mm.
23:45How's the knee?
23:46Not great.
23:49We're at two minutes.
23:51Oh, I'm gonna do three and then I'm gonna...
23:53I'm gonna...
23:54LAUGHTER
23:57Can you just edit it, yeah?
23:59Because my trainer, she's a bitch, yeah?
24:02She'll make me do, like, 20 bench lifts.
24:04Like, just edit it.
24:06Ooh, this left one is wobbly.
24:11Above all right?
24:12Mm-mm.
24:13You're gonna last?
24:14Mm.
24:15Yeah.
24:17Five minutes gone.
24:18Oh, God!
24:22Let me do another pose then.
24:23Right, okay.
24:25Mm!
24:26Mm-mm.
24:27It's taking so much effort!
24:30My back hurts, Jason.
24:31Your back's hurting?
24:32Uh-huh.
24:33All right, good.
24:34Lots of toes.
24:35Lots of toes?
24:36Only two little toes have gone.
24:37That's cute.
24:39Isn't it?
24:40Can you stay still?
24:42It's so boring.
24:4450 seconds.
24:45Oh, my word.
24:46Smashed it.
24:47Oh!
24:48Oh!
24:49Oh!
24:50Oh!
24:51Oh!
24:52Oh!
24:53Oh!
24:54Oh!
24:55Oh!
24:56Oh!
24:57Oh!
24:58Oh, my word.
24:59Smashed it!
25:00Oh!
25:01Oh!
25:02Oh!
25:03Oh!
25:04Oh!
25:09Thank you, Matthew.
25:10Thank you, Rufus.
25:14Fatia, when you say you smashed it, what do you mean?
25:20Because it seems to me everyone went through hell, screaming in agony for the positions.
25:25What you did, as far as I can work out, is you called your personal trainer a bitch,
25:30and you asked the team to edit it for you.
25:33We did have to do it quite a bit, because you also said that Cliff Richard was a prick at one point.
25:37LAUGHTER
25:42Yeah, that was hard, man.
25:43It was hard if you did it.
25:47I'm going to show you now, Jason and Matthew, their effort distilled, so you can see how much they moved.
25:51Here we go.
25:52WHISTLE BLOWS
25:53WHISTLE BLOWS
25:54WHISTLE BLOWS
25:55WHISTLE BLOWS
25:56WHISTLE BLOWS
25:57WHISTLE BLOWS
25:58WHISTLE BLOWS
25:59WHISTLE BLOWS
26:00WHISTLE BLOWS
26:01WHISTLE BLOWS
26:02APPLAUSE
26:03Not bad!
26:04Matthew, seconds from crying.
26:07Did you see his face?
26:09I was in...
26:10I was in pain for days.
26:13Yeah.
26:14Jason, you just looked like you were getting tighter and tighter.
26:17Yes.
26:18Angrier and angrier.
26:20I thought, oh, my God, he's going to smash Alex today.
26:23I did!
26:24I did!
26:25I was desperate to.
26:26The longer it went, the more it seemed like the easiest solution to the test.
26:30I would have...
26:31A bit of lateral thinking.
26:33LAUGHTER
26:35I'm afraid there are just two parts of the final to go with our five mighty competitors.
26:41But thankfully, when it does end, we'll still have each other.
26:45LAUGHTER
26:50LAUGHTER
26:51My sweet...
26:52..sweet friend.
26:54LAUGHTER
26:55APPLAUSE
26:56And welcome back to the third part of this Taskmaster final.
27:11Yes, they're trying to stay as still as possible for ten minutes in a most powerful pose while touching two objects.
27:17Least movement wins.
27:19Now let's see how much Rosie and Stevie moved.
27:22Ooh.
27:23WHISTLE BLOWS
27:24WHISTLE BLOWS
27:26WHISTLE BLOWS
27:28WHISTLE BLOWS
27:29Oh.
27:30Well, well, well, well...
27:31APPLAUSE
27:32Ten minutes.
27:33APPLAUSE
27:34Pretty amazing.
27:35And you were actually in a difficult pose as well.
27:37LAUGHTER
27:38That classic power move.
27:40HE LAUGHS
27:41I'm at the roller rink!
27:43With all my friends
27:45Really good. Yeah for ten minutes. I've got much to say. It's pretty good. Well, there is someone still to see so you might have something to say
27:52They have been so still so so still so still and now here is
28:12The last ten seconds she needs to do for nine minutes, 50 seconds
28:20I know I just because when I dropped my hand I knew it was over in it. So I thought let me just talk
28:25It's not all about points is it?
28:27Start giving it. I'm not scared of you. If you come after me, I'll just go up someone's driveway
28:32One point to Fatia. Okay. Yeah, I would say that Matthew's murderous character probably moved the most after Fatia. Yeah
28:47Two points to Matthew. Probably Jason in third. Are you happy with that? I would say am I happy with it?
28:52Fuck no
28:55Please Jason and it's up to you. You saw how much they they move not a lot
28:59I think that Stevie was clearly in such pain and I actually think she just had the edge. So, okay
29:05So 4.085 to Stevie Martin
29:11Only a handful of points left to give this series. What have you got for me?
29:15I have got a team task Greg and it will hopefully involve your big three fast service accurate pricing and great food
29:24Hello team hello, this is proper nonsense, you know
29:44Hello team, what team is it? I'd love it if you would address us by our team name. I can't remember your team name
29:50What's your name? JV Martzoukas
29:52JV Martzoukas

30:08They are expecting fast service
30:10Accurate pricing and great food
30:12Your time starts now
30:14So what's the closest?
30:16I just want to see

30:38Alright, what is it? Warm bread sandwich with butter?
30:40Oh, no

30:50Okay, give me that

31:03Of course, of course
31:04Thank you
31:05Thank you
31:10Well, Jamie and Mark Zukas immediately seemed like a very efficient team to me
31:14The other team
31:15Erm
31:16No, I think it's the mark of a good team
31:19That one person runs around trying to address the task
31:22While the other two debate what a shape is
31:27Shall we kick it off then?
31:28Let's get stuck in
31:29Okay, well for the last time it is Jason and Stevie first

34:52I genuinely think you should go into business together
34:56It was actually really clever of Jason, wasn't it?
34:59To start speaking absolute bullshit
35:02Because it just slowed it all down so beautifully
35:05So clever
35:06We've not seen that side of you before, Jason
35:08No
35:09The clever side?
35:10LAUGHTER
35:11Tell me a minute like that
35:12Listen, asshole
35:13LAUGHTER
35:14It was great
35:16I loved hearing the back story
35:18You were so polite
35:19My favourite line of the whole thing
35:21And I know that you were genuinely proud of yourself
35:23When you went
35:24I've already made it
35:25LAUGHTER
35:26APPLAUSE
35:32What a delight it was to be in the company
35:34Of this wonderful family-run business
35:36Now
35:38I like to be even-handed
35:39So
35:40I'm looking forward to seeing the next one
35:41And I don't think that it will necessarily
35:44Be an absolute shit shit
35:46LAUGHTER
35:47Well, we're here already
35:49The trophy ceremony is coming
35:51But let's not forget
35:52Someone will also be strutting home
35:54With some mannequin legs in a bin
35:57And the physical manifestation of a period
35:59You say what you want about this show
36:01But we are classy as fuck

36:26JV Martzoukas selling their wares
36:28Now for the team of three
36:29Who are obviously at a big advantage
36:31They just have to control one station each
36:33So I dread to think
36:34How much they're going to show up the other team
36:36LAUGHTER

40:05No it's an actual soldier
40:06Like what do you mean?
40:07What does a soldier look like?
40:08Well I guess if there's a sense of limbs
40:10Hello
40:11Does that look like anyone's small dirty water and steamed bread?
40:15That's it
40:16That's it
40:17Yeah
40:18Thank you
40:19Guys
40:20There's no more customers left
40:21Do you want me to come and help you?
40:22I think they're all um
40:24They're all happy at the moment
40:26I think we may be done
40:28Yeah
40:29Well done
40:30Well done
40:31Well done
40:34Where do I start?
40:35I think maybe the guy on the till is a stoner?
40:38I was really fixated that it was going to be judged on the accuracy of the pricing
40:44It's part of it
40:45It's part of it
40:46And so I really didn't want to get the maths wrong
40:48And I've never
40:49So what were you doing down there?
40:50You were adding things
40:51I was adding
40:52Yeah
40:53You just seemed so still
40:54I was trying to be deliberate in my thoughts and emotions
40:57APPLAUSE
41:03You turning on your team from the start
41:05I'm with a customer, shut up
41:07Guy's getting a bit leery
41:11I think if this had been further into the series we wouldn't have put Fatio in the front facing
41:18LAUGHTER
41:20Well team of three did take a lot longer
41:22Because we only had two of those bicycles and we were meant to go around in a loop each time
41:25But one of us had to use a scooter in the end because there was such a delay
41:28LAUGHTER
41:30Average wait time of 31 seconds team of two average wait time of 2 minutes 41
41:35For the team of three
41:37What they didn't do was any prep beforehand whereas the other team had everything
41:40The toast was already burning, everything was ready
41:41Whereas you were trying to burn the toast for 16 minutes
41:43One customer left
41:44Did you say 16 minutes?
41:46Yeah
41:47Well they kept popping up and you'd leave it for quite a while and pop it down
41:49The thing about us is we won't compromise on quality
41:52LAUGHTER
41:54That is one thing we won't do
41:56APPLAUSE
41:58Obviously the team of two was superior
42:01Five points to the team of two
42:03Hmm
42:04Four
42:05LAUGHTER
42:07Bullshit
42:08There's got to be more other golfs than that
42:10It was chaos
42:11Give them three points each
42:12OK
42:13Team of three gets three
42:14Team of two gets three points
42:15And wins the course
42:16There we go
42:17OK
42:18OK everyone this is it
42:20Please make your way to the stage for the final task of the series
42:25CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
42:38I hoped we'd end on something big
42:40Who was going to read the final task out?
42:43Stevie is going to read the final task out
42:45OK
42:46Get the most carrot in your bucket
42:49You must hold your hands behind your back at all times
42:52You have a hundred seconds
42:54Yes
42:55I should say the carrot in the bucket must be liberated from its string and helmet
42:59You can't just lean down
43:01Oh
43:02As I imagine most of you
43:03It's going to be freed in some way
43:04It must be freed
43:05OK
43:06Good luck
43:07It's the climax
43:08Oh my god
43:09What?
43:10LAUGHTER
43:11Oh
43:12Woo
43:17Ow

43:25It must be
43:27It must be
43:28It must be
43:29It must be

43:31Off the strangle
43:32Fuck off
43:33LAUGHTER
43:35CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
43:44only 53 seconds left

45:02WOOOOO
45:03WOOOOO
45:04WOOOOO
45:06That's exactly what we were hoping for
45:08So, it was going to be most carrot in the bucket
45:10It turned out to be more of a race because
45:12Jason used his technique of mild violence this time
45:15to manage to shake off the whole carrot almost immediately
45:17With speed and amount of carrot taking into account
45:20Jason got the five points, Stevie four, Matt three, Rosie two
45:23and Fatia one point
45:29So, it's been a strong episode for JV Markzoukas
45:32Jason ends up in second place with 20 points
45:34but Stevie wins the episode with 22
45:38Stevie wins the episode
45:40Please double back to the stage to take your things

46:41with 149 points, it's Rosie Ramsey!
